I went through Kaiser West L.A. and had surgery 4/6/12 with Dr. Zelada.

This is a fantastic facility and I had top notch care there. My surgery went really well and I had no complications.

I had a private room after surgery and the nurses were all great and I was very impresssed with the cleanliness and professionalism of the all staff that worked there.

Good luck!!

Hi ya,

I too had surgery at Kaiser West LA with Dr. Zelada on June 25. My only complaint was with the PRE-op anesthesiologist Dr. Reuben...he told me to drink Clear Liquids until 6 am the MORNING of my surgery...I told him that Dr. Zelada told me 12 midnight ....he said " I don't want you coming in here dehydrated...go ahead until 6 am" which I did. It almost canc'd my surgery. I would of had my hands around his little neck if it would of. Dr. Zelada and his team were sooo cool they had me stay in pre-op so I could get what I had out of my system and stayed a bit late for me to do the surgery. Everything else was just fine.

Dr Um assisted in my VSG in May 2012 while he was a resident at UCLA. His pre & post care was great. He was always popping in/out of my room to check on me.
